[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 4784561, member: 36973"] [b]Dorn Thirae, Half-elf Political Dissident[/b] [color=orange]Dorn Thirae, known as 'The Speaker of Truths', 'Tongue of Triumph', and 'Liberator of Overlook', how do you plead?[/color] The sun was high over High Hall. In one of the many courts, a crowd was gathered. Dwarves, dour and serious. Humans, weighing their advantage in the court case. Halflings and gnomes just curious. And women. Lots of women. At the front, flanked by two officers of the court, was a tall half-elf in shackles. He had a proud bearing, lean build, and swarthy skin accented by his shaved head. Even before the court, his surety of action was clear. Dorn was a man on a mission. [color=plum]Not Guilty[/color] The judge, a older dwarven matron, looked down on the half-elf over her glasses and tsked once. [color=orange]We have evidence of broadsheets with your nom-de-plum decrying the 'Dwarven Oppressors' and calling for 'True Representation' for 'Elsir Vale's Common Interests.' Multiple witnesses have reported your disruption of civil matters, most recently Captain Forgeheart's official recruiting rounds. Can you explain this?[/color] Dorn smiled. A flighty slip of a girl in the back fainted. [color=plum]There's nothing to explain. I did all of those things, and more, I freely admit. It is every citizens duty to resist tyranny. This latest 'conscription' against a constant made up 'threat' is nothing more than more means to keep the populace in fear, fearful to assert their basic rights for self governance.

[color=orange]So you admit freely to all of these incidents. Very well. Take him to the hold. I will be discuss sentencing.[/color] Dorn continued to smile, the smile of a vindicated man.
